The Forgotten century - Part 1 - Napoleon & and The Revolution - History lecture

When it comes to the Revolutionary era and the 19^th Century in France, most French people would have a relatively clear perception of what happened. The King was executed, the Republic was established, then Napoleon arrived, lost at Waterloo, and “voilà”!

What happens next, however, remains for most French and English people a blurry concept, as schools tend not to spend much time on Napoleon’s successors. From 1789 to 1900, France changed its regime about ten times, and the century is arguably the most agitated and therefore the most interesting in all of French History.

With this series of Lectures, Gaël Blaison, cultural coordinator and History enthusiast, takes you on a trip to discover the Forgotten Century!
